Usage ticket processing for non-pool units

Pool units use a charge per day instead of a monthly base charge. To prevent the computation of a base charge, daily charge, and hourly charge, you can designate any ticket as a Meter-only ticket on the Data -> Equipment Activity -> Usage -> Usage Tickets screen.

Monthly base charges are apportioned for each non-pool unit among all usage transactions during end of period processing at the end of each month (refer to the System Mgmt -> End of Period screen). The apportioned base charges are added to the current month rental charge item in the Equipment Master table.

If a unit does not have recorded usage for the month, an entry is automatically created in the Usage table (USG_MAIN) during end of period processing of equipment usage so that the assigned department can be billed for the appropriate base charge. You should run the end of period equipment usage processing BEFORE you generate monthly usage billing reports.
